Kangaroo Island is a deceptively large island off the southern coast of Australia, not far from Adelaide, playing host to a magnificent wilderness, with large populations of the country’s beloved wildlife – not just its eponymous marsupial – and large swathes of protected habitats.
The flora and fauna have largely been left flourishing, unspoilt with wildlife thriving in every corner and around every turn. Koala bears sit up in the high branches, feeding on their precious eucalyptus leaves while kangaroos, of course, can be found grazing and hopping about on the grasslands. Leaving the bush behind, the beaches are home to creatures such as the Australian sea lions, seals, prolific sea birds and playful dolphins. At Flinders Chase National Park, you will discover the geological marvels of Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch, astonishing in their unique formations. The biggest town is Kingscote, home to a colony of little penguin, the smallest of these birds in the world.
Embark on numerous trails, perhaps spotting snuffling echidnas, wallabies or goannas. But it’s not just the animals that make this place so special. Adventure activities are just as big of a pull, with thrill seekers being able to go kayaking, caving and quad biking.
There’s also a notable culinary scene with many gastronomic eateries, restaurants and cafes sourcing local ingredients such as the island’s famed southern rock lobster, honey and wine.

An incredible one-in-a-lifetime experience!! Thank you Jacada Travel for putting together the best trip ever!!
The trips was an amazing overview of Australia! We traveled to Sydney, Uluru, the Daintree Rainforest and Lizard Island. Each place had uniqueness that made it memorable. We especially loved the glamping in Uluru and the "private jet" to Lizard Island. The accommodations were fantastic and the care that Jacada offered made this trip quite special.
Ellie has done a fabulous job listening to our interests, needs, wants and desires in customizing our Australia/Tasmania/New Zealand itinerary. She has put together a spectacular trip for us. I would highly recommend Ellie and Jacada for your travel needs.
Ellie and Gita planned an amazing adventure in Australia for my sister and I. The accommodations were great, all transfers seamless, and the itinerary covered everything I wanted. The attention to detail was exceptional. Thank you.
The experience was great in that everything was handled down to the last detail. The accommodations were 5 Star, and the experiences were some that we would not have known about on our own.
